Atlanta — Dec. 1, 2015 — Winter Construction has begun building the new Canterfield Senior Living facility in Bluffton, S.C. The facility will include three floors and 74,000 square feet of total space.
Canterfield Senior Living will add a unique luxury facility to the retirement community of the region. Bluffton, and the surrounding Lowcountry region, is known for its growing retirement communities, lower cost of living, and charming and historic settings. Hilton Head Island is just 19 miles from Canterfield of Bluffton.
Atlanta-based Medical Development Corp (MDC) selected Winter Construction as the general contractor to build the first phase of the new, cost-efficient Canterfield community in Bluffton, and similar facilities in Kennesaw, Ga., and Franklin, Tenn. The expected completion date for the first phase of these facilities is fall 2016.
MDC launched the Canterfield luxury senior living brand in 2011. Because MDC is involved in hotel and restaurant properties, the Canterfield concept uses both the continuum of healthcare and the services and amenities of the hospitality industry. Canterfield facilities also allow the resident to age in place, a benefit many communities do not offer, while satisfying each individual’s needs and desires in a country club-like setting.
Atlanta-based architecture firm Corcoran Ota Group designed the Canterfield model with construction-pricing efficiency in mind. Future maintenance cost-reduction is also a primary focus of initial building design.
Winter Construction is a privately owned and operated Atlanta-based general contracting company. For more information, http://www.winter-construction.com.
